Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan｜市松食堂

Restaurant is cozy with only a few seats. It is run by enthusiastic mother and son. Foods are delicious. Can only use google translate or showing pictures to Chef for food ordering.

On my first day in Okayama, I was looking for an izakaya near my hotel and found it. It may seem difficult to enter at first glance, but the shop's mom and regular customers were warm and welcoming, making it easy for even a single woman to eat there 😌✨ The salted Spanish mackerel tataki that I had researched beforehand was of course delicious, but the stir-fried chicken and green pepper that my mom recommended was the best to go with alcohol. Everything was delicious, so I think you can't go wrong with anything you eat! A regular customer told me that the fried mantis shrimp here is delicious, so I'm definitely going to try it next time! *Current business hours are 17:30 - L.O. 22:00 (usually closes at 23:00).

The staff at the restaurant were kind and the drinks were delicious. It was a very nice and relaxing shop.
